Note: Ochre Court is a Louis XIII inspired chateau in Newport, Rhode Island. Built for Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Goelet in 1892 for a cost of $4.5 million, by renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt. It is the second largest mansion in Newport. The house was donated to the Sisters of Mercy in 1947, by Robert Goelet IV.

Condition

Seam separations to the leaves are more evident due to age but the top is stable and in generally good condition. The top does not sit flush to the base in places as extra pieces of wood are used to fill the space. This table does come with bearers which will stabilize the top. Very slight lifting to some of the boards on the top. The gilding has been worn through in places, particularly on the lower part of the table. Minor losses to the carving on the legs and feet with one loss to a semi-circular border along the base. Minor seam separations to the base as to be expected. The central support has large age cracks to the pedestal, one vertical 3 in. running down to a horizontal crack of just under 7 in. and is missing one foot and half of the other. The other side of the pedestal has a 6 in. diagonal age crack. One of the baluster form supports at the end of the table has a vertical seam separation from top to bottom. Feet missing throughout which should be replaced in order to make the table stable and complete. Formerly had casters. Impressive scale and nicely carved. Not withstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
